Abstract
The current performance of the high-average-power CHIRP II excimer las er is described. A power of 430 W at 1100 pulses per second has been a chieved on the XeCl excimer. Particular reference is made to the undes irable high-pulse-repetition-frequency effects observed in the testbed CHIRP I laser, and successfully avoided in CHIRP II.
